Kutoka 40
1 Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa na kumwambia,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza ya mwaka lazima wewe uandae hema la kukutania.
On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, you shall set up the tabernacle of witness,
3 Utaweka sanduku la ushuhuda ndani yake, na utaziba sanduku kwa pazia.
and you shall place [in it] the ark of the testimony, and shall cover the ark with the veil,
4 Utaleta ndani meza na kuandaa kwa mpangilio vitu vyake. Kisha utaleta kinara cha taa na kuandaa taa.
and you shall bring in the table and shall set forth that which is to be set forth on it; and you shall bring in the candlestick and place its lamps on it.
5 Nawe utaweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba mbele ya sanduku la ushuhuda, na utaweka pazia katika mwingilio wa hema la kukutania.
And you shall place the golden altar, to burn incense before the ark; and you shall put a covering of a veil on the door of the tabernacle of witness.
6 Utaweka madhabahu kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa mbele ya mwingilio wa hema ya kukutania.
And you shall put the altar of burnt offerings by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and you shall set up the tabernacle round about, and you shall hallow all that belongs to it round about.
7 Utaweka ile saani kubwa katikati ya hema la kukutania na madhabahu na utaweka maji ndani yake.
8 Uandae nyuani inayoizunguka, na utundike pazia katika mwingilio wa nyuani.
9 Lazima uchukuwe mafuta ya upako na upake hema la kukutania na kila kitu kilichopo ndani yake. Lazima uitenge na samani zake kwangu; kisha itakuwa takatifu.
And you shall take the anointing oil, and shall anoint the tabernacle, and all things in it; and shall sanctify it, and all its furniture, and it shall be holy.
10 Lazima upake mafuta madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake. Lazima utenge madhabhu kwa ajili yangu na itakuwa takatifu kwangu.
And you shall anoint the altar of burnt offerings, and all its furniture; and you shall hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
11 Upake mafuta beseni la shaba na sakafu yake na uitenge kwa ajili yangu.
12 Umlete Aruni na wanae kwa mwingilio wa hema la kukutania na uwaoshe wote kwa maji.
And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and you shall wash them with water.
13 Utamfunika Aruni kwa mavazi yaliyo tengwa kwa ajili yangu, mpake mafuta na umtenge ili anitumikie kama kuhani.
And you shall put on Aaron the holy garments, and you shall anoint him, and you shall sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest.
14 Utawaleta wana wake na kuwafunika kwa nguo nzito.
And you shall bring up his sons, and shall put garments on them.
15 Utawapaka mafuta kama ulivyo mpaka baba yao ili wanitumikie kama makuhani. Upako wao utawafanya makuhani wa kudumu vizazi vyote vya watu wao.”
And you shall anoint them as you did anoint their father, and they shall minister to me as priests; and it shall be that they shall have an everlasting anointing of priesthood, throughout their generations.
16 Hivi ndivyo Musa alivyo sema; alifuata yote Yahweh aliyo muamuru. Alifanya vitu vyote hivi.
And Moses did all things whatever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
17 Hivyo hema la kukutania liliandaliwa siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa mwaka wa pili.
And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up.
18 Musa alianda hema la kukutania, akaeka sakafu zake sehemu yake, akaanda fremu zake, akashikisha chuma zake, na akaanda minara na nguzo zake.
And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.
19 Alitandaza mfuniko juu ya hema la kukutania na kuweka hema juu yake, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.
20 Alichukuwa amri za agano na kuweka kwenye sanduku. Pia aliweka nguzo kwenye sanduku na kuweka mfuniko wa kiti cha rehema.
And he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark.
21 Aliichukuwa sanduku na kuweka ndani ya hema la kukutania. Aliandaa pazia ili lizibe sanduku la ushuhuda, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and put on [it] the covering of the veil, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 Alieka meza kwenye hema la kukutania, kwa upande wa kaskazini mwa hema la kukutania, nje ya pazia.
And he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle.
23 Alieka mkate kwa mpangilio katika meza ya Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo amuru.
And he put on it the show bread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
24 Alieka kinara cha taa kwenye hema la kukutania, upande wa pili wa meza, kusini mwa hema la kukutani.
And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle towards the south.
25 Aliwasha taa mbele za Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26 Aliweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba ndani ya hema la kukutania mbele ya pazia.
And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;
27 Alichoma uvumba wa manukato hapo, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.
28 Alitundika pazia katika hema ya kukutania.
29 Aliweka madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketeza katika hema ya kukutania. Aliitolea sadaka ya kuteketeza na sadaka ya unga, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
And he put the altar of the burnt offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
30 Aliweka beseni katikati ya hema ya kukutunia na madhabahu, na maji ya kuoshea.
31 Musa, Aruni, na wanae waliosha mikono yao na miguu kwenye beseni
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works.
32 muda wowote walipoenda kwenye hema ya kukutania na muda wowote walipoenda kwenye madhabahu. Walijisafisha, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru Musa.
33 Musa alianda nyuani nyuma ya hema ya kukutania na madhabahu. Alianda pazia katika mwingilio wa nyuani. Katika hili, Musa alimaliza kazi.
34 Kisha wingu likafunika hema ya kukutania, na utukufu wa Yahweh ukafunika hema ya kukutania.
And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
35 Musa hakuweza kuingia hema ya kukutania kwasababu wingu lilikuwa juu yake, na kwasababu utukufu wa Yahweh ulijaza hema ya kukutania.
And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
36 Muda wowote wingu lilipo chukuliwa juu kutoka hema ya kukutania, watu wa Israeli waliendelea na safari yao.
And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage.
37 Lakini kama wingu haliku nyanyuka juu kutoka hema ya kukutania, kisha basi watu hawaku safiri. Walibaki hadi siku lilipo nyanyuliwa juu.
And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up.
38 Kwa kuwa wingu la Yahweh lilikuwa juu ya hema ya kukutania mchana, na moto wake ulikuwa juu yake usiku, wazi kwa watu wote wa Israeli kipindi chote cha safari yao.
For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeyings.
